Here it is, slapped-together and not really spell-checked, but it should
suffice to help the Japanese-impaired (not that I'm anywhere near fluent).
It should also make decent reading for those of you who have already completed
AC:PP, but had to slog through the game going, "What the hell do I have to
do if I'm not supposed to kill everything?"

I. OVERVIEW
This FAQ contains translations of the 17 Missions in ACPP.
The translations were done from a strategy guide that I got. I noticed
that the mission request text is slightly different in the book than
what is
actually said, but itís harder for me to figure out some of the
on-screen
kanji, so youíre getting the book translation. Iíve also done a few
minor
notes on some of the in-mission dialogue. If thereís enough interest, I
could
try to translate that next. If anyone knows Japanese and are really
picky,
then you can correct me. It took me a couple of weeks of working
off-and-on
and a little help from a Japanese friend to complete this. My knowledge
of
Japanese is poor, but I can get around and make translations with a lot
of time
and patience.
Standard (and sadly necessary) Line:
Armored Core: Project Phantasma was produced by "From Software".
The translations from Japanese were done by me. You may freely copy and
disburse this FAQ in its original, uncut form. Do not remove my name
from
this FAQ and attempt to get credit yourself. If you do, I will hunt you
down
and squash your head under the heel of a custom-made, multi-ton, AC of
Doom
OR I will pursue other, more legal means of action, whichever comes to
mind
first...

II. GENERAL
If you slect New Game, you will be brought to the "Enter Pilot Name"
screen.
Stay calm. You will see a bunch of Japanese characters which you can
use to
enter your name, but if you hit L1 or R1 buttons, you will be given the
more
familiar Roman (and Greek) alphabet.
